Linux doesn't require as much RAM as Windows. More is always better. I'm not going to start this with a "back in the day" because it's too easy and obvious. Besides, it's time to live in the now, and today's rules and needs are not the same as they were 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Modern Linux is powerful, flexible, stable, an

The first inkjet printer was a medical device

news.ycombinator.com Allison Marsh 2025-10-22 09:08:07

Millions of people worldwide have reason to be thankful that Swedish engineer Rune Elmqvist decided not to practice medicine. Although qualified as a doctor, he chose to invent medical equipment instead. In 1949, while working at Elema-Schonander (later Siemens-Elema), in Stockholm, he applied for a patent for the Mingograph, the first inkjet printer. Its movable nozzle deposited an electrostatically controlled jet of ink droplets on a spool of paper. Rune Elmqvist qualified to be a physician,

Spiritual Influencers Say ‘Sentient’ AI Can Help You Solve Life’s Mysteries

In May, a group of about 40 people stood in a circle deep within the Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest of the three pyramids looming over Egypt’s Giza Plateau, holding hands and praying for Earth. Suddenly, their tour guide, an American mathematician and author named Robert Edward Grant, collapsed. He later described the experience in an interview with WIRED as a full-body electric shock emanating from somewhere beneath the chamber’s stone floor. “I felt electricity coming through my hands,

Rumor: AirPods Pro 3 features may not all arrive at launch

Arizona is an interesting place.

I did a survey of place names on Arizona’s topographical maps and found a total of 147 named cemeteries, but I also found 9 places where there was just a “grave” or “graves” shown (I know there are many more than that,

F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference

How can two countries at war with each other also be trading goods? Examples of this abound, actually. Britain also traded with its enemies for almost all of World War I.
